I made some new pencil boxes for my sister, who's a teacher, as a "good luck with the new school year" gift. Thanks to delays in recovery, it took me too long, and now it's a Christmas gift!

I replaced my old Suizan flush trim saw with one from Temple Tools Co. I didn't like having to create more waste, but I think I'll keep the handle and gift the saw to someone who needs it once I've replaced the blade.

Anyone else love cleaning their table saw blades to get all that nasty sap off? I sure do!

Ruler Organization is crucial for any garage shop; it's always good to know where your equipment is for all those emergency line drawing situations you get yourself into. Anyways, here's mine!

I have a new video covering my new band saw and practice pieces. Band saw boxes have always been interesting to me, and trying out some different designs was fun. LOTS of improving to come! #woodworking #bandsawboxes #garageshop

Got these bandsaw boxes done. I've developed Tennis elbow and it's made holding tools and manipulating them more difficult. But hey, I got them finished, just needs some wax and then I can start perfecting the methods. Learned a lot with these! New Video Soon!

New Video is out! Shop Upgrades for me happen in January and this year I upcycled my rickety shelf, made a new table saw cradle, and most importantly an apron holder so I remember to wear it!

I try to clean up after every project, but it often is not THIS bad. Check out this cleaning montage as I clean up my one car garage shop so it's not a hazardous wasteland!
